Its officially 2015, so happy brew-year everyone! I thought I’d use my first post in 2015 to look back at 2014…<\/p>\n

The good…<\/i><\/b>
\nLots of good things happened this year. My wild yeast collection activities and yeast identification methods are up and running smoothly. I had a number of rather successful brews this year – most of which I posted here<\/a>. Both my blog and youtube channel<\/a> are getting a lot more hits – 75,000 and 10,000 hits respectively last year.

\n<\/i><\/b>The bad..<\/i><\/b>
\n2014 was not as busy a year for me as 2013. A rather pathetic 15 batches were brewed this year – 18 if you count the wine kits I did along the way, 16 (or 13 if you discount the wine) if you subtract the\u00a0two infected brews<\/a>\u00a0I had this year. My blogging was also down – 11 fewer than 2013. Hopefully we can pick up both those numbers this year.<\/p>\n

The ugly…<\/i><\/b>
\nAs mentioned in “the bad”, I had my first (non-deliberately) infected beers this year in over a decade. That sucked…and it hurt even more as the infection was something I brought home from work with me. In addition, for the first year since 2008, I failed to hit the 400 liters of brewed goodness mark (roughly equivalent to 100 US gallons).<\/p>\n
